The key confusing point to me was its pink feet. The legs look dark to me,
but the feet do look pink in all the pictures. Orange-crowned Warblers
(OCWA) have "dark bill and legs", but I couldn't find anything about its
feet.
I went on line
http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna/species/101/galleries/photos/ocwa_gb_12_jpg/image_popup_view
and the picture

"Orange-crowned Warbler
Oreothlypis celata | Order PASSERIFORMES ? Family PARULIDAE shows an OCWA
with pink feet, and a gray head. And another picture at the same page shows
the pink feet even better.

I couldn't believe that we had a MacGillivray's Warbler this time of year,
and as Barry said, the breast was wrong.

So, I am convinced thhat it is an Orange-crowned Warbler.

Thanks for all the good pictures and the good discussion. This is one of
the reasons that Tweeters is such a treasure.
